So Trump's leaving early from G7 ostensibly to attend to Israel-Iran war that Israel launched against his wishes. Then he refused to sign G7 statement on the war demonstrating he's odd man out wherever he goes. Then he pushed for Putin membership in G7 and got snubbed. So now going home in a snit.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

One of those magical clips that somehow gets funnier on each successive viewing. The doofus riding on top; the "important" guy walking alongside the tank; the half-empty grandstands; the wheels squeaking along on an otherwise silent street. You might not like it, but this is ART.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

NEW: Tesla drivers in France are suing to TERMINATE THE LEASES for their vehicles, alleging that chief executive Elon Musk’s political activities have made their cars “far-right totems.” “This has led to increasing hostility towards their cars that has prevented them from enjoying their vehicles…”

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

I’m not blogging at all this month (revising the book manuscript), but if I wasn’t on blogging-hiatus, here’s what I’d be writing: (1) An awful lot of centrist pundit-types built their careers in the ‘10s around writing takes that perform well on algorithmic media.

I've found myself using the f-word a lot lately. Fascism. There's a lot of it about. People don't like to say it because it makes them uncomfortable. It seems extreme. Well, fascism is extreme and you can't ignore it. Get used to it. Start using the f-word.

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)
